Asked by the court how many were affected, Mr. Muir said 50 printers were involved. George Fraser, Toronto printer, speaking for the printers, said he was not arguing about conditions, only about wages. They were 94 cents In Hamilton, but $1.35 in Toronto. He charged that "collective bargaining is becoming a farce," relations with the paper were developing into "a farce," and he also condemned rates paid commercial printers, saying "these inequalities have gone on for years." He charged "glaring mis-statement of fact" in the Spectator brief, and said the Toronto comparison with Hamilton wages was "the fairest comparison there was." He said that if the Hamilton printers worked a five-day week of 40 hours as the Toronto printers did, they would get $64.80 a week.

He then said that F. I. Ker, Hamilton Spectator publisher, had declared the Spectator could pay $60 a week, but wouldn't. Denies Injustice. In rebuttal, Mr.

Muir pointed out that if the Spectator paid this money, it would come out of excess profits. Therefore, this extra money would come out of taxes that should go to the government. Mr. Muir also said that if other Ontario papers paid any such wage as Toronto papers paid, they would have to go out of business.

Recently, the regional board awarded the Spectator printers an increase from 88 cents to $1.02 per hour. This ruling the Hamilton Spectator sought to upset, basing Its argument that comparisons with Toronto, which played a prominent part In the union arguments, were unfair. The Spectator insisted that Toronto's wage scale was out of line with the rest of Canada, and that the Hamilton scale was higher than that of many other similar papers and printing shops.

The board reserved Judgment. R. Evans, K.C., in his brief, stated wages paid Hamilton printers were higher" than paid in many other papers across Canada. He suggested that this was "the thin edge" of the wedge, and would lead ultimately to increasing wage scales all across Canada, to the detriment of price ceiling and wage scale agreed upon during the war period. Such Increases would stimulate Inflationary trends, which the government sought to curb.

Again, the onus on the printers was to show "gross Injustice and Inequality" In the present Spectator scale. This, Mr. Evans submitted, was not shown. To the argument that Toronto rates over the past 20 years were higher than those of Hamilton, he said such figures proved nothing, by themselves. Must Consider Conditions "To say for instance, that in Woodstock the rate is 42 cents, and in Hamilton, 62 cents, of itself establishes no case, without examining local conditions," said Mr.

Evans. Nor was It fair to assume that Toronto's rate, 30 per cent, higher than that of any other city, should the standard for Canada. Instead It was an exception, he argued. Again, once the rates in Hamilton went up, then increases elsewhere "become automatically ascertainable, and thus the whole tenor and Intent will be progressively destructive program dangerously augmenting Inflation.
